Felt like using my BitPay card today...
To show how easily crypto is accessible nowadays and answer some questions to people that have a hard time calling this "real life".
This was my lunch...
I know, not fancy lunch, but I had little time to eat.
Here is the transaction:
How did I do?
Assuming you already have the BitPay Card (like the one I show here), and the BitPay app/account, it's quite simple:
- Go to your phone app and load up your card with any BTC amount you wish (up to the limits, which I think to be 10k USD, but double check that on BitPay website). It will take current BTC price to convert BTC->USD. The load up process requires you to choose Normal Bitcoin Fees, which might (in some occasions) be a bit high. This will soon improve after 1 August (hopefully).
- After the transaction verifying (1 confirmation only), you will be able to spend the amount you loaded into your card. That amount will show instantaneously at your card, but I feel it will be more secure if you wait for at least 1 verification (2-5 minutes usually).
- Using the PIN code, I have did a debit VISA transaction at my workplace to buy a 3.5 NZD sandwich. That costed me, 2.59 USD plus 3% (0.07 USD) for converting USD to NZD.
How nice and simple was that!?
RESTEEM if you wish to show others what you have learned... and,
